Savvy Source's Comments
"Our daily curriculum is devoted to the needs and the individual development of each child. Our objective is to provide a learning environment using the monthly thematic approach. Through planned activities, field trips, and other enrichment opportunities, your child is exposed to creative arts, math and reading readiness, music and movement, dramatic play, language development, and both large and small muscle developments.
Scriptural principals are presented to the children through books, songs and flannel board stories. Prayer is said before each meal. Christian and positive social principals (sharing, loving and friendship) are stressed."
